Italian term

anche in due

Italian to English Other General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters Prose
Here's the full sentence:

Sto usando una x, è l’ideale perché guidabilissima nel traffico anche in due e se vuoi andare al mare è una passeggiata.

anche in due - in second gear, or when riding pillion?

Many thanks!

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): luskie, SYLVY75

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

@ Lilly01 Exactly "riding pillion", a British English idiom I learnt thanks to you! Maurizio
BdiL Nov 3, 2010:
@ Lilly01 In case you are curious "in second gear" is "in seconda", so there's no doubt this is not the case here. See peers answers for solution. Maurizio
meirs Nov 1, 2010:
@ Oliver "now" or "know" ?
meirs Nov 1, 2010:
@Lilly01 If we knew upfront that X was a motorbike (and not a 4-wheel drive SUV for example), we could be in the right direction from the beginning.
meirs Nov 1, 2010:
If motorbike, I change my answer in due - with a passenger (two people on the bike)
Louise Etheridge (asker) Nov 1, 2010:
x is the brand of motorbike
philgoddard Nov 1, 2010:
What is an x?
